That article is one Hell of a hack job. It's a divisive piece, plain and simple. Claims are made, attributed SOLELY to the left, and not a single example is cited. The author could have just as easily have said purple dinosaurs concur with these "leftist lies." Needless to say, it doesn't cut the mustard as a scholarly work.
First, it is an editorial, not a scholarly work.
Second, you are being willfully obtuse in the effort of supporting a position. The man took standard left-wing boilerplate and explained why the positions contained therein are not defensible. If you don't recognize the aforementioned left-wing boilerplate for what it is you are either being less than honest or have been living in a cave for the duration of your life lived this side of World War II.
Third, it seems to me that you have accepted another piece of standard boilerplate so far as a conservative is 'divisive' if he dares presume to question liberal orthodoxy, but on the other hand a leftist (like the Kenyan for example) who deliberately exacerbates every line of division our culture has ever known is still in the eyes of the left a great unifier. This tells me that we are dealing with an aggregate of people who are either very dishonest or don't have the foggiest damned idea what truth is.
